Currently, the default python version on Fedora Linux is Python 2. Later Fedora Linux release 22 will ship with the Python 3 as a default version. In this config you will learn how to switch between python versions on Fedora Linux. Let's start by listing all Python versions available on your Fedora system:

# ls /usr/bin/python*
/usr/bin/python   /usr/bin/python2.7         /usr/bin/python3    /usr/bin/python3.4m           /usr/bin/python-coverage
/usr/bin/python2  /usr/bin/python2-coverage  /usr/bin/python3.4  /usr/bin/python3-mako-render

Now, check your default python version:

# python -V
Python 2.7.8

To change python version on per user basis simply create a new alias in you .bashrc located under your home directory:

$ alias python='/usr/bin/python3.4'
$ . ~/.bashrc
$ python --version
Python 3.4.2

In this config we will install a official Nvidia GeForce driver on Fedora Linux. The system used for this installation is Fedora 21 however, the below config should work for any subsequent Fedora Linux release version. First download the official NVIDIA driver installer from nvidia.com. Your driver version will be different as this depends on your graphic card version eg.:

NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.35.run

Two conditions must be fulfilled before we can start the actual NVIDIA driver installation:

nouveau free nvidia driver must be disabled
X Server must be disabled

To comply with the both above conditions the below command will disable nouveau nvidia driver:

# dracut --omit-drivers nouveau /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) --force
